Colleen Ballinger's apology just dropped, and the worst influencer apology ever has been finally achieved I think (yewtu.be)

This is unreal. She's been accused of years of grooming minors for those unaware. The allegations she's facing as well as those around her is intense, with potential legal consequences in the making. Major content warning to those who seek out articles on the matter, of course. She's had a pretty successful Netflix show, and I believe a Broadway show as well? She's a pretty early OG youtuber.

So... she decided to whip out a ukelele and start playing a song for an apology after days of increasingly being under fire. I never thought that a worse Influencer apology would ever be made, but she did it.

Apologies if this isn't a good community to post by the way, I just haven't seen any discussion of this on here yet and I just need to bask in just how baffling it is.

It was genuinely one of the strangest responses to serious allegations I've ever seen this side of Kevin Spacey, and it wasn't really an apology, it was more a musical screed against the allegations, she quite defiantly didn't really apologize or admit any kind of fault and cast blame at her accusers like a corporate executive getting MeToo'd.
